Alternatively, use finely cut burdock for better extraction in a standard infusion. Store in an airtight jar away from light and moisture — keeps well for up to 12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreparation Directions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Infusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use 1–2 teaspoons of blend per 8 oz of just-boiled water. Cover and steep for 10–15 minutes. Strain well and drink plain or with a touch of honey. Excellent as a daily nourishing tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNourishing Long Infusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add 1 oz of blend (about 1 cup loosely packed) to a quart jar. Fill with boiling water, cap tightly, and steep for 4–8 hours or overnight. Strain and drink throughout the day. This method draws out a deeper range of minerals — especially from nettle, raspberry leaf, and mullein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlended Decoction:\u003c\/strong\u003e For maximum extraction from the burdock root, simmer the root alone in 3 cups of water for 15–20 minutes. Remove from heat, add the remaining herbs, cover, and steep an additional 10 minutes. Strain and enjoy warm. Rich, earthy, and deeply nourishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
